Hi,
I think this shortness of breath is very likely to be related to your cardiac issue.
Edema with shortness of preath indicates poor heart function. The AF may be contributing factor.
So you should talk to your cardiac doctor for proper assessment and management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
